Fingerprint speculated as takeover candidate
Fingerprint Cards [STO:FING-B], a Swedish biometric sensor manufacturer, may well be taken over this year, according to a report in Breakit.
The Swedish business website speculated that the semiconductor industry has seen a lot of M&A activity lately, making a takeover of Fingerprint more likely.
Breakit pointed to California-based Qualcomm as a possible buyer. The item also noted that a Chinese buyer is also possible, especially considering that the Chinese government has expressed an interest taking a leading role within this segment.
